I understand. It is not that you want another child to suffer through colic. You just want another parent in a medical profession to suffer through having an infant with colic. (Payback is a bitch isn’t it?)

Well, I am very glad to know what is probably causing the lead in my house. My son is a Thomas fanatic. He will be 3 in August. When he was 1 yr old he was tested for lead (mandatory) in our doctor’s office. He had a level 11. Normal is 0. A level 10 is considered to be lead poisoning. It has been about a year and a half now…he is checked regularly. We have only been able to get him down to a level 8. I purchased 100 lead testing kits a while back…I have tested wall paint, soil, dishes, bibs…the list goes on. I never would have thought Thomas the train toys could be the source. Anyways, after finding this out…you guessed it…I pulled out a testing kit. And guess what…THEY HAVE LEAD! I am furious. It is like you said, you pay 20$ for a caboose, you would think they could make enough money to provide quality toys. My daughter will be 1 in 2 wks. At that time she is scheduled to have her mandatory lead test. I only hope she has not been poisoned also. I only pray that eliminating these toys will finally bring my sons level down. I pray that the effects that the lead has had on my son is not permanent…and that once the source is eliminated that he will feel normal again.
